Yes. First practice means nothing too. I doubt any team had 100 percent attendance at any practice yet. Teams that have athletes will have kid playing other sports on a Sunday and other days. If express was mising two of the top three players they have and they lost a game yesterday I would say that means nothing. New kids have to learn plays and find a spot. Unfortunately a new kid may get burned playing with the starters and when the coach figures it out he moves the kid down and plays less. Takes a few goals against before that happens. That kids won't be burned for a few goals in the summer because the coached learned in the fall the kid should not play in tight games. fall lacrosse means nothing as to how a team will play in the summer.

All this means nothing. Anyone who tries to draw conclusions from these games of how good a team will be in the summer never played a sport before. In the spring /summer these teams will look different when all players show up for games and new players fit in. Express won and they were the best team yesterday. End of story. Move on.
Then what do you say to all the people who making predictions a month ago before even these games where played. If the fall games tell you nothing then the first practice must tell you even less [/quote]
